Goldfish

Is it important to know the shape of where are you are living; the boundaries of your habitat? 

Does this matter as long as you can exist happily & peacefully inside? 

Is it living dishonestly to never enquire about the exact shape of your inherited society?

I propose that all of us live inside such goldfish bowls, and that most people do not realize the true extents of these boundaries & restrictions until a crisis - an unusual internal or external force - reveals them: they bump up against the glass. At this point they have to make a decision - do they forsake it for some new boundary? Or do they own it & defend it?

We watch others thus englobed and judge their complacency. 

We are watching through the curved lenses of our our own bowls.
